I am looking forward to seeing some pictures. I used to have a photo of elk around San Antonio area.

Years ago I spotted an elk cow and calf in the greenbelt adjacent to the Steiner Ranch development in West Austin. Likely escapees from one of the high fenced ranches in the area, my buddy (from whose backyard we spotted them) said he saw them regularly for a few weeks and then they either moved on or one of his neighbors broke out the supressor!

if its the place I am thinking, they never had elk or red deer

Thank you for the pictures. That is awesome.

do you have an HOA Stratgolfer? ... restrictions on firearms?

PMK we are just on the edge of Austin, but are (for right now as Austin is trying to Annex this subdivision) officially in Travis county. The problem I have is the area behind my yard is greenbelt and owned by Austin. Best case scenario would be an Elk somehow jumped my fence. Otherwise a no go.

ha, and not like you could shoot and then drag over your fence ... unless you had a bunch of buddies helping
